Meiringen

Welcome to Meiringen

When the writer Arthur Conan Doyle left his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes for dead at the base of the Reichenbach Falls near Meiringen, he ensured that a corner of Switzerland would forever remain English eccentric. Every 4 May, fans in tweed deerstalker hats and capes gather here for the anniversary of Holmes’ ‘death’.
